During the harvest – impressions from the intern-perspective

by Christoph Nicklas09/24/2010

4:05 a.m. – this was waking time for almost the entire last month.

Yes, this can be exhausting! But much more, it is great fun and an instructive experience.

We are at the the end of September now and the last weeks in Castillo de Maetierra were focused on grapes, more grapes, yeasts, enzymes, nutrients, must and – highly important – analyses.
The monovarieties for the Spanish White Guerrilla and the other grapes are all collected, and of course, it was a great pleasure for me as a German intern to participate in producing Riesling and Gewürztraminer – two varieties that are very well-known in my home country.
